CDIB IT: Connecting to the CDIB Color Copier, MCLM 306 (Mac)

Note: the following directions are for OS X 10.5 and higher. This copier is not compatible with versions of OS X below 10.5. You can check your OS X version by pulling down the Apple menu at the top left of your screen, and choosing "About this Mac" or "About this Computer."

You can click any screenshot to see a larger version. (Some messages/boxes may appear slightly different on your computer.)

Please NOTE: Installing the printer is a two step process; please be sure you complete all of the instructions on this page, or the printer will NOT work! (Shortcut to step 2)

STEP 1: INSTALL THE PRINTER

Download the installer from xerox.com by clicking the appropriate link below:

You can uncheck both the "Set as default" and "Print a Test Page" options. Click Continue.

Click Close at the Installation Successful screen.

Now, continue with step 2 below.

STEP 2: SET UP YOUR ACCOUNTING CODE

Open Safari, and select File >> Print.

Choose the CDIB-COPIER-MCLM306 printer.

In the "Safari" pulldown menu, choose "Xerox Features."

If you don't see this menu, click on the "Show Details" button at the bottom of the box, or the down-arrow button to the left of the printer name.

Underneath "Xerox Features," pull down the menu and choose "Advanced."

Click the "Accounting" button.

In the "Accounting System" menu, choose "Xerox Standard Accounting." Leave all other options as the default, and click OK.

Pull down the Presets menu and choose "Save Preset As" or "Save Current Settings as a Preset."

Enter a name that makes sense to you, such as "CDIB Color Copier," and make sure the preset is available for "Only this printer." Click OK. You will use this preset each time you print to the copier; the OS should "remember" this choice.

Each time you print a document, you will see a popup window. Enter your 6-digit copy code into the User ID field (no other fields are needed) and click OK to print.
